To combat this, Texas-based photographer Leilani Rogers created the Public Breastfeeding Awareness Project (PBAP), an initiative that aims to further de-stigmatize breast feeding.

She rounded up more than 50 photographers in Canada, Ireland, and the US to take photos of mothers breastfeeding in public places like libraries, parks, and restaurants -- places where women are normally criticized heavily for breastfeeding.

Dozens of photos of mothers breastfeeding their babies have accumulated as a result of this wonderful project.

The photographers are showcasing their photos on their social media pages and blogs using the hashtag #PBAP2014. They've also been posted on Roger's Facebook page.
